The excitement is building as the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give returns to Grand Rapids, Michigan, from June 18-21. This prestigious event invites community members to join hands in supporting world-class golf while also contributing to crucial hunger relief initiatives. This year, the tournament is seeking more than 1,400 volunteers to help make this event an unforgettable experience.

A Unique Tournament Experience

The Meijer LPGA Classic is not just an ordinary golf tournament. It features 144 of the top female golfers from around the globe competing in a four-day, 72-hole stroke play format at the stunning Blythefield Country Club. The event not only showcases elite golfing talent but also emphasizes community engagement through the Simply Give hunger relief program, aimed at supporting local food pantries across the Midwest. Since its inception, the tournament has helped raise over $13 million, making a significant impact on communities in need.

Volunteer Highlights

Cathy Cooper, Executive Director of the Meijer LPGA Classic, shares the heartfelt impact volunteers have. "Our volunteers make this tournament truly special," she states, highlighting their dedication and teamwork, which enriches the experience for both fans and players.

Volunteers will pay a nominal fee of $30, which includes:

• - Two official tournament golf shirts (for those volunteering two or more shifts) or one shirt for a single shift.
• - One official tournament hat or visor.
• - An exclusive Meijer LPGA Classic pin.
• - Four weekly grounds passes to share with friends or family.
• - One parking pass.
• - Complimentary meals and beverages during volunteer shifts.

A wide array of volunteer roles is available, suitable for everyone—from Walking Scorers to Hole Marshals, as well as Hospitality attendants. There is even a General Volunteer position, allowing volunteers flexible job placements throughout the event. This role encourages those who wish to experience different aspects of the tournament as they lend a helping hand.

Potential volunteers are encouraged to register early, as positions are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The organizers are eager to welcome both new volunteers and returning enthusiasts for what promises to be another incredible Meijer LPGA Classic celebration.
